"Lamp" is a graphite drawing by Eugene J. Barrell, created circa 1936. It depicts a detailed, realistic rendering of a traditional oil lamp, showcasing Barrell's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow. The composition is simple, yet effective, focusing the viewer's attention on the lamp's form. This drawing, with its meticulous detail and minimalist style, is a prime example of Barrell's approach to still life, reflecting a fascination with everyday objects and their inherent beauty.
